The Strathmore Rockies were a professional women's ice hockey team in the Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL). The team played its home games in Strathmore Family Center Arena,[1] in Strathmore, Alberta, Canada.
History
Their first season in the WWHL was in 2008-09 and its team founders were Samantha Holmes and Brigitte Lessard.[2] The idea to start her own team stemmed from the fact that there were many elite hockey players in Calgary, but not all of them had the opportunity to play for the Calgary Oval X-Treme. Holmes and Lessard founded the Strathmore Rockies so that elite level players in Alberta would have another team to compete for. Holmes also handled the day-to-day tasks of running the Strathmore team. Part of her accomplishments included player scouting, sponsorship and marketing campaigns to operate the team. She is also captain of the Rockies and runs local skills clinics in Calgary for young women's players.[3]
2011-12 season
The Strathmore Rockies and Edmonton Chimos combine to form the new Team Alberta CWHL entry into the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL).[4][5][6]
